...Ginzberg admits that the "great importance of the Cabala for rabbinical Judaism lies in the fact that it prevented the latter from becoming fossilized," but this insight remains unrelated to the essay as a whole...
...That Ginzberg, who in "The Codification of Jewish Law" was patient enough to deal with all those intricacies of Biblical criticism which destroy the unity of Torah-a blasphemy in the eyes of a Halachist-that same Ginzberg almost instinctively opposed the intrusion of non-rational trends into intellectually clear-cut rabbinic Judaism...
